The start of 2011 means every sneaker brand you’ve heard of and even some you haven’t will be releasing their spring ’11 lineup. Gourmet is probably twitter in between on average, with savvy sneakerheads admiring their subtle mashups while others might only remember them for the early ‘Ape Jordan’ silhouettes. Here are three new Gourmet models for Q1 that drop all the AJ styling and stick to lifestyle designs with some Nike Air Max running thrown in for good measure. The Gourmet Quadici returns with its Duck Boot-meets-Air Max 97 look, a style that’s modified with a moc-toe and chukka-style lacing for the new 28 midtop. Last but not least is an UNDFTD-designed Cinque that takes its mudguard from the Nike Air Max 1 and loosely borrows the OG Varsity Royal’s colorway. Check out all three pairs in more photos after the jump and look for these at select boutiques like Primitive.
